As a result of Hurricane Irma causing the quantity of oranges to drop by 21%, the change in price of oranges will be increase of 14%.

<h3>What will be the change in price of oranges?</h3>

Price Elasticity is found as:
= Change in quantity / Change in price

You have the elasticity and the change in quantity so you can find the change in price as:

-1.5 = -21% / Price

Price x -1.5 = -21%

Price = -21% / -1.5

= 14%

In conclusion, price will increase by 14%.

Glaus Leasing Company agrees to lease equipment to Jensen Corporation on January 1, 2020. The following information relates to t
Schach [20]

Solution:

a. It is a capital lease to Jensen, because the leasing period is more than 75% of the economic existence of the rented asset. The leasing duration is 78% (7-9) of the economic life of the commodity. That is a capital lease to Glaus, since the collectibility of the lease fees is fairly stable, there are no significant surprises regarding the expenses remaining to be borne by the lessor, so there is a lea. If the market valuation ($700,000) of the property equals the expense of the lessor ($525,000), the contract is a sale-type deal.

b. Calculation of annual rental payment:

\frac{700,000-(100,000X.51316)}{5.35526} = $121,130

**Present value of $1 at 10% for 7 periods.

**Present value of an annuity due at 10% for 7 periods

c. Computation of present value of minimum lease payments:

PV of annual payments: $121,130 X 5.23054 =

PV of guaranteed residual value:

$50,000 X   0.48166 = 24,083

**Present value of an annuity due at 11% for 7 periods.

**Present value of $1 at 11% for 7 periods

Answer:

a. contribute too little to profits, and Wallace Printing will not want to accept additional work from the company.

Explanation:

For reaching any conclusion first we have to determine the cost assigned by using the single cost driver which is shown below:

= Rate × Pages printed

= ($840,000 ÷ 12,000,000) × 76,000

= $5,320

And  Cost assigned using ABC  is

= (120,000 ÷ 200) × 2 + (640,000 ÷ 4000) × 10 + (80,000 ÷ 16000) × 38

= $2,990

By this above calculation, the first option is chosen as the cost are high as compared to the ABC while on the other hand the profit would be NIL

For most normal goods the income effect and the substitution effect work in the same direction; so when the price of a good fall
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The income effect and substitution effect work in opposite directions and income effect is dominant.

Explanation:

In case of a normal good, both the income effect as well as substitution effect work in the same direction. A fall in the price of a product will increase the purchasing power of the consumer so its quantity demanded will increase.  

The consumers will also prefer the cheaper good so the substitution effect will cause the quantity demanded to increase.  

In case of an inferior good, however, income elasticity is negative. The income effect and substitution effect work in opposite directions.  

A price decrease in the case of an inferior good will increase the real income and purchasing power of the consumer. This will cause the quantity demanded of the inferior good to decline as the consumer will prefer a substitute normal good.
